John/Dave - Nice to hear you guys working together with Pro Bodybuilding Weekly albiet punking MadMax with the shared clip.
Dexter's response to MADMAX and Lee Priest:
"That's real funny dude."
"All bullcrap."
"I'm never leaving the IFBB."
"Lee Priest and I ain't even friends."
"So please let this lay down."
Dex is a humble dude on air and you can tell he wasn't too amused with the PDI comments.

It amases me how a "in" guy like this LiftStudios guy, supposedly inteligent also, would give any kinda credit to a live on the air interview of Dexter on a forum like PBBW so into IFBB's ass, hosted by 2 of the biggest nutthuggers of the powers that be. What would you expect??? SEPUKU from Dexter's part??? The guy pays his bills competing in the IFBB, so if it was a rumour, false one, the it's ok, but if in reality he conjured the possibility of jumping to the PDI ship and it went south, do you REALLY believe he would've admit it on the air, in a live internet radio broadcasting that probably has Peter McGough with his ears glued to his PC speakers???
C'mon, Lift.....

As I stated......
Dexter is no fool, and knows full well where his place in Pro BB is...in the IFBB with the rest of the best in the world.

I agree! Look at the condo he lives in and the cars he drives. I think he's doing alright in the IFBB. Why would he change when he's doing that good on stage and financially!

It will be interesting to see when/if Dex finally achieves the pinnacle of he IFBB...The Sandow.
Otherwise, it will always be"close, but no cigar'" S. ray, K. Levorne, F.wheeler, etc, etc,etc.
politics as usual.

There's no "politics" involved in Dexter winning/ not winning the Olympia...just an age old tradition of a good big man always beating a good small man.

How's the new kid Chick?

I am very curious about this one.
Why would a very big bodybuilding fan like Dave float details of that if it wasn't true?
Madmax (dave) is always a very standup guy, and regularly shares info about many in the sport who frequent his shop. He has nothing to gain in sharing the PDI/Dex gossip. It makes zero sense that he would just make this up out of the blue, about one of the biggest names in the sport, throwing Lee and Cormier under the bus as well, with his comments, if they're not true.
On the other hand, Dex has everything to LOSE with this rumor coming out. I mean, this could seriously hurt his placings- whether its true or not. Not saying he would lie, but he certainly has motive to "deny deny deny".
"All bullcrap", the quote by Dex, directly contradicts what Dave said. I'm curious which one of these fine men didn't have the correct info here...
-

Even if it was on MD's show, don't you think Dex was being watched ( heard, actually) by the powers that be, and he knew he was being under 'surveilance'?

No.

I'll throw my two cents in. YES Dex was considering it. I knew this more than 3 months ago.
Yet you and all the other pdiminions never come forward with names until AFTER the fact.
-

Well, there was ONE guy who posted that nice pic of Dex's grin when asked who the big name considering it was... ;)

I would lean upon believing Dexter based on the fact that he stated he never had any intentions of going to the PDI. Why would he throw his career in the drain for???
Dexter knows what the deal is, he would be a complete retard to do anything otherwise
-
Dave wouldn't just make it up, he has NOTHING to gain from it. He was probably just overreacting from losing the Arnold and his 4th place Olympia finish.

Dex is what, 35? Didn't he vow to never do the "O" again at one point? Whether or not you agree the PDI is a viable organization, for a top athlete who just had his ego crushed by Gustavo-favoring judges, at or past his peak, perhaps his mind would wander.
To believe Dex means that Dave made that up, out of the blue. I'm not sure that makes sense. An aging, pissed off top IFBB guy who got the shaft, thinking aloud and weighing his options for his last 4-5 years of competition, makes a little more sense. But that's just me.

240, your analysis dwarfs O'Reilly.

OReilly admits his bias. I have no bias here. If I had to bet the rent check on one of the two possibilities - either dave making this hurtful story up for no reason, or an aging/wronged top pro talking a little trash about jumping federations...
Well, smart money says the whole story is no big deal, but that Dave probably is the one to believe here.

Hopefully this doesn't die down, it would be interesting to hear more investigation done...

the only person to blame in all of this crap is LEE PRIEST!!! no one else...... dave (madmax) and probodybuilding weekly both said that they came to that conclusion becuase of everything that was going on, and said "that in all fairness Dexter isn't here to comment on this" so they were pretty much re-stating or bringing up a rumor, not stating a fact
-

Tonight Dexter said the whole story was "all bullshit".
So, it's an interesting bodybuidling story. Either a top pro, or a top industry guy, told us something that was false about the other, involving the PDI, which is a hot topic.
My only question is, when will both men be at the same show to settle/discuss it in person, and who will be filming it for youtube?
-
First off why would MadMax lie and why would Lee lie. What do they gain. MadMax definitely nothing. Lee why? So he can hear all the shit and people call him a liar and go to shows and see Dex and get confronted there. Issac you are a moron plain and simple. You proved it at the Arnold. Why would Dex lie. ALLOT of reasons. Everyone already knows no IFBB person is allowed to even udder PDI. They proved that may times including putting Weinbogger at the front entrance of the NOC and write down names. Jeez, Issac maybe you stick to taking pictures and just shut up. You look more stupid everytime you open your piehole.
-
BB as it is today is a lie!!! "Buy this supplement cuz this pro uses it" "No I don't use Synthol" "I'm a Natural" "Blah" "Blah" "Blah" What a joke!!! This is the dirtiest sport there is...bar none!!!

. I have no bias here.
You are biased twords conspiricy theories, sir. To say you have no bias here...................t sk tsk

Keith remove your face from your pile of pancakes. Yeah, Lee Priest never lies. ::) Yeah, Priest is someone who's word is gold. I'm not calling MadMax a liar, he clearly didn't know if the Dex rumor was true and side stepped the question in a round about way through Chris Cormier.
Who cares if he talked about going or not. Of course you guys would love it if he did then the PDI might have credibility. In case you haven't noticed that is something it's lacking. You talked about the PDI having a web site better than any other site, yet still no site. Wayne went on record to say he was taking physiques back to a classical look, yet look at the mess that showed on in NYC.
When you put the fork down you'll realize you jumped on the sinking ship.

really...wow. Man, that's shocking considering if Dex would have even said he kinda thought about it he'd pretty much kiss his career in the IFBB goodbye, I mean it's not like the IFBB has ever gone out of it's way to ruin guys who have gone againts them in anyway possible...like Gary Strydom or Aaron Baker or any of those old WBF guys.
simple fact of the matter: Even if Dex thought about it admitting it would be career suicide.

Ding ding ding! We have a winner! That's exactly right, when Lee wrote that a few weeks ago, we were all wondering if there was any thuth to this, then Dex came by the shop after the Arnold and the Australian Pro which kind of brough back Lee's statements to mind and after asking CC about it, he just told me the comment Dex had made to him before. That's all. The fact remained, Dex has never left, never publicly said he would leave and just competed twice this year already so I guess that's what matter, not what could have happen. Still a pretty cool story. I do appreciate the vote of confidence guys though.
Max.

MadMax its kind of funny how people decided to put there own spin on things, and like to cause all sorts of drama!

Dave - why didn't you ask Dex about it when he was in your store instead of getting info second hand from CC?

That's a good question Lift. To be honest with you, I think Dex would have told me the same thing as what he said on the show. I'm not saying he did think about leaving but if he did, would he admit it now? What I do know is what CC told me. Why would Chris lie about that? Anyway, like Dex said, it's all over now, let's just let it lie.
-
Im not quite sure what all the fanfare is even about...so...Dexter THOUGHT about going over? Hinted at it? Contemplated? Made mention of? Weighed his options.....?
WHATS THE BIG DEAL?
-
Exactly! That's the very worse that happenned.

An over-the-knee spanking by the IFBB?

Bob you're not preparing for the Master's World and King hasn't posted his precontest shots. There isn't much to talk about in the world of bodybuilding. People are hungry for any story even when there isn't one.
-
Geez...guess so.
-
another example of dexters nast attitude..
.. even if he and lee arent friends... no need to blast it out on the radio like that.
-

I think the big deal is that some guys will now say "Dex was considering it? He's a top 3 guy in the world. He makes X and I'm only making Y. If he's thinking about it, maybe I should..."
Or - conversely...
Most people don't casually leak things this huge to a fellow competitor unless it's for a reason. Would you casually tell your boss' secretary that you were floating your resume to the competition? Not unless you were politically witless (which Dex is not) or unless you were trying to send a message (and we all know dex's message after sitting out the O).
Either way, we're just kicking around ideas. I'm sure someone can line up a nice interview to clear the waves on this little misunderstanding.

Bllshit...no one in the top 15 would remotely consider it...and least of all Dexter.
The one factor people are tending to overlook...is Lee. Why anyone would put an once of credability in anything he says is beyond me.....he also started the bllshit about Vince Taylor guest posing at some NABBA show...to which I talked to Vince, and he knew nothing about it, and did't know why Lee would even start such a rumor...
What's sad is, the only hype the PDI can drum up is making up stories about "top pro's" defecting..."you'll be shocked"...."Wait till you see...". blah, blah......were still waiting for this big news, and the mass exodus of wayward pro's to the fontain of Wayne.

If he "wouldn't remotely consider it" as you say, why did he tell Cormier that he was?

Pure heresay...who knows what Dex actually said to CC...or in what context. CC could have thought he said something else...who knows.
Sean Maloney summed it up as well as it could be.....
What would the incentive be for DEx to have even thought about it?
-
Pure heresay...who knows what Dex actually said to CC...or in what context. CC could have thought he said something else...who knows.
Coulda been anything. We're talking about this situation with the statements we have in hand. At the moment, heresay carries more evidentiary value than completely baseless theories like "CC could have thought he said something else".
Officer :)

Dex admitted he was very very very very very very very very upset at the outcome of the Challenge round.

Dex admitted he was very very very very very very very very upset at the outcome of the Challenge round.
...and as a result, you think he would have sacrificed hundreds of thousands of dollars and his career....to do what? Get back at the IFBB??
Give it up, bud...it's laughable.

Dex admitted he was very very very very very very very very upset at the outcome of the Challenge round.
The Challenge round was years ago and clearly over it. He will be competing in the Olympia this year. The guy said it himself he will never leave the IFBB and he's promoting his own NPC show. It's pretty clear Dex is loyal to the organization that helped provide a paycheck for him and his family.
-

Hey, I sure wouldn't walk away from all those dollars. But you asked for incentive to *even think about it*.
Being embarassed like that in front of his family, friends, and fans by a lesser athlete, on the world's biggest stage, at what was arguably his lifetime best shape... that had to hurt. The whole world saw him get punked, to put it mildly - his drop from 3rd to 4th was the story of the night. Dex had to spend the next 6 months hearing about how great this chump was, and you know he didn't like that.
So do I think he would sacrifice his money and career to pay them back? No.
Do I think it was enough incentive to talk a little trash to a bigmouth competitior in hopes that the message of "you burn dex again, you won't see dex again" reach the top? Sure.

I agree dex is loyal and he is staying put. Chick and i were tlaking about possible motives for him dropping subtle threats about leaving to a megaphone like cormier.

LOL.....The IFBB isn't dependant on any one individual, and has withstood the absence of even the great lee Priest after he went....The threat of "you won't see me again..." would only hurt one person...DEXTER.
Save the conspiracy theories for 911, Kennedy, Hoffa....

Of course they aren't. But if #3 left, it sure might open the floodgates. Come on Bob, you know I'm not trying to start a PDI/IFBB debate, as those are old and stale. But if a top 3 guy left, it would be bad for business - agreed?
Save the conspiracy theories for 911, Kennedy, Hoffa....
It's no conspiracy theory. You asked for what could be a motive to consider an action, and I gave ya that.
-
It's an interesting story, definitely nothing to downplay, even if it was just Dexter overreacting.
-
The only thing interesting about this story is Dexter and Lee sharing the same women. No wonder they aint friends no mo.

Number 3 would never leave...nor numbers 1,2, 4-25....it's not a PDI>IFBB thing..it's a MONEY thing.

You didn't put Lee Priest in the top 25 IFBB guys when he left?

BTW... I have absolutely no stake in this federation feud, nor do I really care anymore. I just like to argue!
-
I know.... ;D
-
There's no posibility whatsoever that DEXTER can make even 50% of what he makes in the IFBB.......so there's nothing to even consider on his part. End of story. That's how we KNOW he's telling the truth.
-
just an age old tradition of a good big man always beating a good small man.
don't u think its amazing that pro physiques have elevated to the point where a massively muscled guy like dexter can be considered a smaller competitor. its bloody freaky if u think about it cos dex is huge in real life.
-

Huh, I thought Dex is married? ???
